Walk across living root bridges, float on a river so clear the boats seem to hover, and chase waterfalls in the abode of clouds.
Meghalaya is a land of mist, waterfalls and some of the cleanest villages in Asia. The Khasi people have grown bridges from living tree roots for centuries, the Umngot river at Dawki is so clear you can see the riverbed from a boat, and the canyons of Laitlum fall away into cloud.
Our Meghalaya tour packages cover Shillong, Cherrapunji (Sohra), the double-decker root bridge at Nongriat, Mawlynnong and Dawki in 5 to 6 nights, and can be combined with Kaziranga. Our All Girls Meghalaya group trip is the perfect first solo trip.
Every Meghalaya trip below can be customised — dates, hotels and pace. Group trips have fixed dates with a Dil Se trip captain.

Meghalaya is beautiful all year, but October to May is the most comfortable.
Pleasant 10–22°C, clear skies and the Umngot river at its most transparent. Shillong gets chilly in December–January.
Warm days and blooming cherry and rhododendron trees; occasional pre-monsoon showers.
Waterfalls at full power and misty hills — beautiful but very wet; Dawki river turns muddy and treks get slippery.
Fly to Guwahati (GAU) — Shillong is about 100 km (3 hours) by road. Shillong’s Umroi airport has a few small flights.
Guwahati is the nearest major railhead, connected to Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Bengaluru.
Shared and private taxis run from Guwahati airport and station to Shillong; we include private transfers.
October to May. For the clearest Dawki river visit November to April; for waterfalls at full flow visit July to September.
It is about 3,500 steps down (and back up) — moderate, and doable for most healthy travellers at an easy pace.
